K, I understand the surf tabs are not needed to surf the X30. Anyone have surf tabs and able to switch sides on the fly to match malibu's Surf Gate? Not saying i would ride both sides all the time but would be bonus to switch it up on the fly. Probably would have to sacrifice wake size due to balance of ballast system.

After owning a 2012 X45 with surf tabs, I would say that they have little to no effect on the surf wave. At the most they slightly affect the shape, but would not make any difference on the fly to switch the wave from one side to the other...based on my experience...
